Abstract: |
Fourteen test pits were excavated. Although archaeological deposits dating from the Roman period onward were identified. The remains appear to have survived in pockets and were neither stratified nor particularly complex. Long wall foundations identified on site and in the cartographic evidence may have perpetuated the line of former medieval burgage plots. A Roman soil layer containing fresh, unabraded ceramic was noted in the central southern part of the site and this may represent occupation/activity associated with the extramural settlement to the north-east of the Roman fortress. A possible early watercourse was identified close to the east end of the site. The presence of a former stone quarry, identified on eighteenth century cartographic evidence, may lie at the east end of the site, but this was not identified in the test trenches. [Au(abr)] |
